Hot Glue Roses April 24, 2016

Staying in the whole handmade embellishment theme, I tried my hand at some hot glue roses. I saw this technique on Maymay Helms’s channel here.

These are made using a high temperature Surebonder glue gun. I found that I had to wait to drop the rolled rose shapes onto the blob of hot glue. If I dropped them immediately into the blob of hot glue, the entire thing melted. I’m pretty happy with how these turned out, and I can make them in whatever colors I want or need. These happen to be painted with two coats of Watermelon Adirondack acrylic paint.
